An implementation of binary assignment operators for @property

Issue 8006 - Implement proper in-place-modification for
properties

I thought @property's behaviour had been removed from the
language and even though the attribute remains, it doesn't
actually do anything?
@property changes the typeof result (useful for introspection)
[1][2]:
---
For the expression typeof(exp) where exp is an @property
function, the type is the return type of the function, rather
than the type of the function.

---
If the expression is a Property Function, typeof gives its return
type.
